The program not producing the correct fonts in GRID in Chimera client is most likely caused by the incorrect font specification.

Please make sure your script options and fgl_setproperty(“gui”,…) calls use the following syntax:
<font name>-<font weight>-<italic>-<other attributes>-<size>-<character set>

Here are some examples of correct font specifications (draw your attention on the all five “-“-signs that have to be mandatory defined):
Arial-bold---10-
(Font Arial, bold, size=10)

SansSerif-bold-i-us-9-
(Font SansSerif, bold, italic, underline, strikeout, size=9)
